Btrfs has been around for a while, and has even been in the Linux
kernel for a while.

I'm guessing that Facebook has had their own development branch which
they are now making public as that link differs from the development
branch that is shown on the kernel Btrfs page:

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories

Currently I believe only OpenSUSE ships it in a supported form, Red
Hat announced they are removing support and it won't be in future
releases.
